"Indoor courts" is the center's total court count from the flyer; the flyer doesn't say how many courts are set up during each session (Unknown). "Building open Thu" is the center's general building hours from its official City page, not pickleball time; pickleball is only during the flyer session.
Morning, midday and evening
- Before noon start: Desert West Community Center 9:15am–11:00am; Longview Community Center 10:00am–1:00pm; Sunnyslope Community Center 10:00am–12:00pm.

Outdoor courts at the same address
- Deer Valley Park: the flyer's outdoor entry (2001 W Wahalla Dr) has the same address as Deer Valley Community Center (2001 W Wahalla Ln). We could not confirm outdoor pickleball courts there from the City's other sources, so it is unconfirmed.
No Thursday center shares an address with a confirmed outdoor pickleball park on the flyer.
Outdoor court hours are on each park page; see all Phoenix courts by park.
What the flyer doesn't say
Skill levels, play format, sign-up or rotation rules, whether paddles and balls are provided, and holiday closure dates are not on the flyer, so they are Unknown here. Ask the center when you call.
Other days
See the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday sessions in time order. The full week, by center and by day, is on the Phoenix indoor drop-in pickleball schedule.
